The Packers arrived in Dallas On Monday...
The Packers have made a vow to their fans that they will fight hard and bring that trophy back to Green Bay. This will be the Packers' first appearance in a Super Bowl in 13 years. It will be their fifth Super Bowl!
The Packers’ defensive line already made some headlines by traveling to Texas on Monday in cowboy outfits, complete with belts, boots, jackets and hats, mimicking those won by the offensive linemen back in training camp. Defensive end Cullen Jenkins even purchased some rattlesnake-skin boots to accompany the rest of his gear.
A little history on the Packers:
The Green Bay Packers were founded on August 11, 1919 by Curly Lambeau and George Calhoun.
The Packers became a professional franchise when they joined the newly formed American Professional Football Association on August 27, 1921. However, financial troubles plagued the team and the franchise had to be forfeited at the end of the season. Curly Lambeau found new backers the next year and regained the franchise for $250. Further troubles threatened to add more debt to the team, but local businessmen, known as the Hungry Five," got behind the team and formed the Green Bay Football Corporation.
The Packers have won 12 league championships, more than any other American professional football team. They have also won 3 Super Bowls. Their arch-rivals theChicago Bears are second, with nine NFL championships (including one Super Bowl). The Packers have the second most Hall of Famers (21, behind the Bears' 26). The Packers are also the only team to win three straight NFL titles, which they did twice (1929–1931 and 1965–67).

Lisa...I love it! Huge hugs to you! It was actually colder in Dallas yesterday than it was here in Milwaukee. We were able to dig out today...a wonderful day of laughter, a family at home and great friendship with our neighbors. What a gift this day was! We hope our Packers can bring it home to this great state of Wisconsin. I am especially thrilled that they are being lead by a fellow Cal Bear! We will be doing exactly as you advised on Sunday. We can't wait. Go Pack Go! With lots of love from your favorite Cheeseheads! Kris
